Kobe Bryant gets LSU jersey from Les Miles as a retirement gift

Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant will play his final NBA game Wednesday night, ending a goodbye tour that featured many gifts and tributes along the way. Last Friday, Bryant made his final trip to play the Pelicans in New Orleans, where he received a gift from LSU coach Les Miles.

Bryant, 37, never played college basketball and entered the 1996 NBA Draft at age 17. In 20 seasons with the Lakers, Bryant earned two NBA Finals MVP awards, 18 trips to the All-Star game and he trails only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

Bryant scored 14 points with four assists and three rebounds in the 110-102 loss to the Pelicans.
